If it’s saying Activation Lock or still has Find My turned on only the owner of the Apple ID can remove it.

If the seller refuses or cannot remove it from the Apple ID following the steps at How to remove Activation Lock - Apple Support in s browser at https://www.icloud.com/find you should turn it for a refund. If they refuse return contact eBay support as most likely the iPad was not theirs to begin with.
